Then they covered both the counter and the floor with paper in prelude to doing tile work. Besides the tile work, they just have to install the appliances, paint, and finish the electrical. <BR/><BR/>Two weeks max. But I'll believe it when I see it.<BR/><BR/>And, no--the biotech in question is Genentech in South San Francisco.chuck b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00882763861745236443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14872802.post-77522699613428329832007-07-30T19:36:00.000-07:002007-07-30T19:36:00.000-07:00Chuck, was that biotech in Emeryville per chance? ...Chuck, was that biotech in Emeryville per chance? I'm past due to get over that way. <BR/><BR/>As for the investment angle - in what seems like a previous life, yes, that was once my vocation.

I enjoy Coke, but I keep my intake down. I'd probably drink more if I could get the kind made with sugar.Peter Hohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916196998855947137noreply@blogger.com
